My MIL is a limoncello nut. She even has special glasses for it!
Isn't it funny that people literally come out of hibernation. I talked with my neighbor last week for the first time in about 5 months! Sad, but soooo glad the sun is coming back!
Great idea and I just happen to have a bottle of limoncello!
My mom (before it was culinary cool) used to make simple syrup with lemon and we had the best homemade lemonade!
Love the ends on the glass, you are so cleverly creative...I bet you are a superb personal chef!
This looks like a very refreshing treat! It must be so warm right now in San Diego!

It is spring in my book. I heard birds chirping at 5:30am, saw the first wasp of the season, and the calalillies are poking through the mulch. Woohooo!
Such a lovely and refreshing drink! would be perfect for our warm day coming up tomorrow!
The drink sounds truly refreshing! Bet it's good too for the summer bbq party!
Limoncello is a great way to harken the spring. But in LA it seems to have skipped spring and jumped straight into summer! It was 82 yesterday. GREG
Oh the drink sounds really good right now!
